The platform pledges to keep its community in a welcoming and supportive environment.
The secure and friendly environment created by TikTok is one of the reasons why it has become a go-to platform for creative expression online. The platform promotes compassion by encouraging its users to treat one another with respect and friendliness. TikTok has always made a point of cultivating a friendly and inclusive community, and the company has kept its word, promoting kindness among producers and users on the app to help avoid cyberbullying.
Many creators have contributed to the inspiring and uplifting atmosphere on TikTok by speaking out against cyberbullying in the videos that they share on their feeds. Through these creators, TikTok users can learn how to protect themselves and the community from negativity. Their content also lends support to anyone who may have been bullied or mistreated by others online, helping them see that they are not alone, and that they can always find someone to talk to, who understands what they are going through.
Here are some inspiring creators along with the uplifting videos they have shared on TikTok:
Inka Magnaye has been very open about her past experiences with bullying. She shares that she was bullied for many things growing up, from her teeth, gums, and large eyes, to her body shape, and dark skin color. For this reason, she has chosen to use her voice to advocate against bullying, as well as promote bullying awareness and prevention online.
EduCreator Lyqa Maravilla talks about cyberbullying in this video, illustrating the role that spectators may play in empowering cyberbullies whenever they interact with their posts. She says that, because everyone shares in the responsibility of changing that paradigm, we must strive to be disruptors instead of enablers and aggressors whenever we witness instances of cyberbullying.
In this video, creator Japboy teaches viewers how they can stop cyberbullying by checking their own reactions and comments before posting them online, to make sure that they aren’t being bashers themselves.
Creators @chuckandjoe call for respect, and say no to discrimination and cyberbullying in this video, which encourages viewers to stop hate, and spread love instead.
Together with these inspiring creators, TikTok also takes steps to address important issues like cyberbullying and negativity on the platform through movements such as its recently-launched #CreateKindness campaign. This global campaign and creative video series aims to raise awareness about online bullying, and the power of kindness and inclusion in battling discrimination and hatred online. As part of this ongoing initiative, an animated video series will be launched on the @TikTokTips account, telling real stories from six animator-creators that offer perspectives on how to counter bullying, expose the true impact that harmful behavior can have on a person, and remind the community why everyone needs to work together to prevent this.
TikTok is encouraging everyone to join the #CreateKindness hashtag challenge by making content on the platform that illustrate uplifting experiences and providing comments that can inspire others to spread kindness as well. Every day, choose, celebrate, and generate kindness. Contribute to the spread of positivity on TikTok and help to prevent cyberbullying online.
